Unity…the Band is an award-winning original roots reggae group based in Wisconsin. Their intense touring schedule of varied venues around the Midwest has honed an interactive outdoor stage show with positive party vibes and the knack for drawing club crowds into the irie groove.

They treat fans to old Roots Reggae favs, along with original music blending influences of roots, rock, blues, funk and reggae into their own unique sound. Fronted with island-smooth energetic confidence by Kai "Pita" Katobalavu on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, the band’s talents includes the smooth bass lines of Tim Perkins, Ryan Peerenboom’s laid-back guitar riffs and vocals, the cool intensity of Jeremy "Chunk" Schroetter on keyboards and innovative steady ease of Kelvin Ayres behind the drum set.

Unity's fan base has grown extensively regionally and globally with the release of their album, Oceania, a collection of diverse original songs written by Katobalavu, centered on his roots as a native born Fijian. The album's release and unique cultural story of a Fijian making music in the Midwest have gained the band extensive media attention in the US, Europe, Fiji, Australia, Hawaii & New Zealand, as well as radio play for the new music.﻿

For our second season, Artistic Director Amy A. Wright and the Bad Wolf Dancers have created an evening of dance inspired by ideas of identity and environment.

Each of us has a story and those stories- the choices we have made, the people we have met, the experiences that define us, the desires for our future- merge to define the unique paths that have led each of us to be this exact person in this precise moment in time.

Let us share our stories with you.

Admission is free. To reserve seats in advance or for more information, visit us at BadWolfDanceTheatre.com. ﻿
